Jack O' Hare On Halloween

Jack O' Hare On Halloween

Jack O' Hare on Halloween
found on the ground a jelly bean
dropped by a goblin small
or a green giant tall.

Lots of strange creatures on this night!
Some enough to give you a fright!
Going from door to door
but it seemed to be no chore
to these little ones shouting "Trick or treat!".
Jack thought it quite neat.

Then after 9 the little ones went home
and after throwing the dog a bone
proceeded to eat their treat
and bobbed for apples with their feet.

But outside in the night so dark
was heard the cry of a lark
what omen was this
putting an end to bliss.

Childish games had now come to an end
Jack O' Hare wished for a friend
a wolfish howl
a screaching owl
zombies prowl.

Real vampires now roamed the earth
Hecate's hags were giving birth
and in the darkened sky a light
held by Zeus who looked a fright
this Greek god held dark countenance
as he rumbled world's continents.

Outside the celestial door
stood the Norse god Thor
He looked at Zeus
and Zeus at him
this Norse god that worked the gym.

Thor's hammers hit the Earth's poles
while Zeus shook the grassy knolls
these gods of old
had risen bold.

Modern children's tales made them seem nice
but now to Earth what havoc hair gets from lice
these old gods will now do to the world
and wreak havoc hitherto unfurled.

Zeus his lust and Thor his brawn
while Pan rises from a spring in Lebanon
and plays on his pan pipes a haunting tune
harking an apocalypse soon.

Moloch's furnaces rise again
grinning bull face so insane
fire falls instead of rain.

Many had shouted in this age
with all manner of sporadic rage
that Jesus Christ would have to go
and if He has,
then why all this current woe?

Nietzsche had written, "It's Christ vs. Dionysus
Don't you understand?".
Indeed grinned the 3-piece demon band.
Dionysus was their leader
Hades the bottom feeder
followed by a serpent seeder.

Jack O' Hare liked not what he saw
as he watched and licked his paw
then he turned and hopped away
wanting this All Hallow's Eve
to turn to All Saints' Day.
